Aim Blood culture is the gold standard in the diagnosis of bacteraemia and sepsis. When antimicrobial treatment is delayed, severe infections may occur, which may cause high morbidity and mortality. We aimed to determine the distribution of Enterobacterales isolates and their antimicrobial susceptibility pro le from blood culture samples sent to the laboratory between 2016 and 2021. Materials and Methods Results Conclusions Enterobacterales isolated from blood culture samples sent to Ondokuz Mayis University Medical Microbiology laboratory between January 2016 and December 2021 was enrolled in the study. Vitek MS (BioMérieux, France) was used for identi cation of bacterial species and Vitek2 (BioMérieux, France) Compact automated system were used for determination of antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria. EUCAST criteria were used for the evaluation of antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates. e most three isolated bacteria were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp. and Enterobacter spp. respectively. 15.67% for ertapenem, 7.57% and 6.28% for amikacin and tigecycline, respectively. e resistance rates were 9.06% for meropenem, 8.89% for imipenem and S nce the antb ot c resstance rates of the agents causng bloodstream nfect ons show reg onal d erences, t s thought that screenng ep demolog cal data and report ng the results wll ncrease the correct treatment rate and decrease the mortalty rate.
